we begin with breaking news in the east bay. you're looking live at pictures from our chopper. you can see police activity. this is in hayward all because a school in hayward is on lockdown. this is happening at south gate elementary on calaroga avenue south of highway 92 near hisperian boulevard. we still don't know why the school is on lockdown but are following the story with more information for you when it becomes available. of course, our other big story today, the giants world series game one. >> they are going to do it. they are going to do it in four games. >> the giants' fans and the g-men are pumped up for game one of the world series today.

the city by the bay is all orange and black. good morning and thank you for being with us at 11:00. i'm marla tellez. >> i'm john kelly. good morning, everybody. game six just about six hours away. this one no doubt a very fast turn as around for the giants as monday night they clenched the national league series, they took that title home, and now two days later they are suiting up for the world series title. >> nbc bay area's kristi smith is on the live scene outside at&t park. first we'll go to amy gutierrez. this series is loaded as we talk about strong pitching to go with two mvp contenders, buster posey and miguel cabrera. good morning. >> reporter: yes, good morning. it definitely will be the pitching to set the tone for both of the teams, but big sluggers on each side of the diamond. but first, a couple guys to watch. marco scutaro, the mvp, he batted .500 in the lcs and then

the tigers' dh dell monday young was the mvp as well with a big series. two home runs, and he batted .353. he'll get to start tonight in left field. the two guys you're talking about, buster posey and miguel cabrera. cabrera the triple crown winner and always a threat. he was hitting .313 in the lcs. buster posey, the national league battle title champ has absolutely struggled in the postseason only hitting .187 or .178. if the giants team knows anything, they know no pitcher or any situation is insurmountable. >> we have therein but a lot in this postseason already. i think everybody that is on the team now understands, you know, the difficulty of a postseason game and the intensity from pitch one. so i think they all probably have a pretty good idea of what

to expect. >> reporter: here's a fun fact for the giants fans. if the giants score early, they will be looking really good. in the postseason when the giants have plated runs first, their record is 6-1. game time 5,:00. first pitch, 5:07. verlander is going to square off against zito and it will be a showdown. back to you. >> it is looking good. thank you, aimy. barry zito is taking the mound for the giants against justin verlander. arguably, he's the best pitcher in the entire league right now. the giants have released their entire rotation for the series. the lineup goes just like this, madison bum gardner will pitch tomorrow for game two. ryan vogelson will make his someday buy in game three. matt cane pitches game four and tim lincecum provides relief in the bullpen.

baseball is the hottest ticket in all of sports right now and crazy high prices if you want the premium seats for the series. because giants' fans love baseball, some are going above and beyond to get a piece of the action. kristy smith is going to tell us exactly what fans are going to do for a slice of baseball history. good morning, kristy. >> reporter: good morning to you. you can really feel the energy picking up here outside of at&t park. there are a lot of deliveries happening. they asked fans not to show up until a little later in the afternoon, but how can they help it? this is the world series we are talking about. a lot of the fans we spoke with this morning feel it is something they do personally could actually have anqo impactn the outcome of this game. okay, maybe not completely, but this is sports we are talking about. and fans are taking no chances as the grounds crew is doing everything to dry out the field from the rain. the rain is not so big of a deal

because the giants did so well against the cardinals in game seven. some arrived early outside of the park hoping to see a few innings this evening. they say it worked for them in the 2010 world series. a few fans already there but they also brought some bushes out there as well. this morning fans shared their special superstition. >> i always wear the hat that i'm wearing. every time i wear this hat they have won. >> i purchased this hat four years ago and decided to pull it out of my closet. what better place to wear it than at&t on october 24, 2012, when the giants are in the world series, you know? why not wear it now? >> i have as much fun before the game and enjoy myself. >> i don't have any great superstitions but if i'm watching the game they win. >> reporter: now we checked with stubhub this morning and they do still have tickets available

starting at $300 for standing room only all the way up to $9,000. as for the giants themselves, they are absolutely out of tickets. and one of the things people are saying is a good luck charm already is this shirt that came out yesterday. a lot of them wearing this plus the matching hat saying they will do whatever it takes to help those giants win. reporting live in san francisco, kristy smith, nbc bay area news. >> thank you, kristy. meantime, the most famous broken bat in america is now found after getting lost. hunter pence shattered prison bat in game seven of the nlcs. the bat connected with the ball three times before taking off to the outfield. apparently the bat was sold to a season ticketholder for $400 at a game used merchandise stall. but the giants tracked down the owner and that man wants pence to have the bat back.

also, getting into the series groove, late-night host jimmy fallon last night decided to roll out the pros and cons of that 2012 world series. >> pro, heading to the tigers' stadium to watch one of the games. con, using apple maps to get there and ending up in an actual stadium full of tigers. >> we'll be hearing a little more from fallon in his pros and cons coming up later in our news cast. it is good stuff. hang around. this morning before tonight's big game, former giants' players are spreading cheer to children and their families at the san francisco children's hospital. they went room to room visiting young cancer patients. lucille is there, too. during the game fans and players will remember family members lost to cancer and will hold plaques in memory of their names.

>> you can check out our home page for the latest on the world series news. in the meantime, the question on everyone's minds, will the weather at at&t cooperate for tonight's game? we all remember this soaking, soggy scene as the downpour drenched the infield during the final inning of game seven. for more on today's forecast, let's go to meteorologist christina loren live outside at&t park. christina, you have been out there all morning long, how are you holding up? >> it is still cold out here, marla. and you just saw from that video, this is one of the most beautiful parks in the country, but when it rains it gets downright ugly. tonight i'm going to go ahead and do it, no rain in the forecast for tonight's game. we are looking good. i'm surrounded by some very enthusiastic fans. >> yea! >> reporter: many of the guys have been here with me since 4:00 this morning. let's look at your weather and talk about what we have left in

terms of showers. for the most part, they are all clearing. the most lingering activity has been right over the south bay, but temperatures are cool out there. we are in the 50s and 60s. the weather headlines tell the story of the next couple of days and what's to come. clearing this afternoon. we are going to see more sunshine than clouds by the day's end. cool sunshine for tomorrow. kind of that deceptive sunshine where it is perfectly sunny but still feels cool with temperatures in the 60s. that's your thursday. but by this weekend, even on friday, the upper 70s, warm weather returns. and it's going to be really nice around here. so coming up, we'll take you through the full forecast and show you that seven-day outlook. we are doing well here outside of at&t park so far. back to you, john and marla. thank you, christina. two girls are returning to their los gatos school this morning while their mother fights to prove they have a right to be there. that's the girls heading off to class today. the school district originally told the edwards' family their

daughters' enrollment at van meter elementary was revoked because the family didn't live within the district. the family says they do and gave the school proof. they believe the district is kicking them out to avoid dealing with the girls' life-threatening nut allergy. the girls were able to return today but their residency status remains under investigation. coming up, a deadly shark attack along the california coastline. we'll tell you which beach is now shut down and which waters the shark could be lurking in. barnes and noble bookstores are shut down and among those to have their pin pads hacked. i'm live in san jose with details coming up. also, gas prices in the bay area heading in the direction that we like. and across the state we'll show you how low it can go by the end of the year. and look at this, it's wide

open at the toll plaza with some cloud cover.uy christina has a full look at the forecast coming up. and baseball is famous for superstitions. san francisco no stranger to that. here's a humorous look at the great lengths some fans are actually going to try to make sure they get some tickets in a victory today. one fan runs from his north beach home all the way to at&t park to touch the willie mays statue. marla tellez could do that backwards with her eyes closed. go giants!

we have a consumer warning this morning for shoppers of barnes&noble. they say their pin pads were hacked at dozens of store, some in the bay area. arturo santiago is live with how customers' information was swiped. arturo, good morning. >> reporter: barnes&noble says it is a sophisticated effort to

steal the information of its customers. the company is advising anyone who used a card at their stores to change their pins and also to look for any unauthorized transactions. the barnes & noble is one of 63 stores across the country to have one of its pinpads compromised. only one device in each store was hacked. the criminals planted bugs in the affected pin pads to allow them to obtain pins and credit card numbers. barnes & noble stopped using the pin pads at all the nearly 700 stores nationwide and that happened on september 14th. there have been some cases in which information was stolen and used to make unauthorized purchases. some of the customers we talked to are hesitant to use cards at barnes & noble. others, not so much. will you use your credit card here or debit card here? >> sure. i mean, we cannot stop all these

things. >> the card that i have, i have protection on it, so if something happens, i'll go to my credit card to have it fixed pretty quickly. >> reporter: you heard barnes & noble has been a victim -- >> i would rather use cash. >> reporter: barnes & noble says the information about the hacking has not been released to the public until now because it was asked by the justice department to keep it quiet so the fbi could investigate. now the stores affected in the bay area are the ones in san jose, san mateo, san bruno, walnut creek, corda madera and emeryville. they are now using the card scanners right on the cash registers. arturo santiago, nbc bay area news. thank you very much. some good news for california drivers. a little relief at the pump. we'll take that whenever we can get it, right? take a look at the numbersk=28hy compared to last week.

gas prices dropping as much as 22 cents. experts say prices will keep on dropping and they could slip below the $4 per gallon mark by the end of the year. john, that's great news if you are drying but if you plan to fly during the upcoming holidays, you could be paying a heavy price. a 9% increase is reported on air travel during thanksgiving. a domestic round-trip flight will now cost on average about $390. travel experts blame rising fuel costs and fewer seat selections. speaking of flying, a stamford graduate in trouble with southwest airline this is morning. how is this for a story? he was busted for setting up a website to automatically check him into flights. kind of a slick ideas. he probably would have gotten away with it but thousands of others started using the site. so southwest sent the computer science a cease and desist letter to avoid a potential lawsuit. the smart young man says he's now taking the site down and going back to the old school

human check-in method. here's some stanford graduates doing some good for our economy worldwide. researchers found the university's alumni generates trillions of dollars in annual revenue. and since the 1930s more than 5 million jobs have been created. researchers also say more than 39,000 companies have been formed by alumni entrepreneurs. if you add up all of those numbers, that would produce the world's tenth largest economy, the cardinal. >> stanford, impressive. >> i didn't go to stanford. >> neither did i. christina loren is out there checking tonight's forecast and beyond. it already looked like she was gathering a crowd out there. you have fans hanging out with you for the weather forecast. >> reporter: yeah, but then i couldn't hear anything when trying to do my forecast, so we sent them into the park. good morning to you. marla tellez, you're a giants'

fan because you went to sonoma state and you're from the area, but there are a lot of fans just like you here excited about the first world series game. so let's talk about what you can expect. now, i want to bring your attention to the wind. you'll notice those flags, which typically blow out to mccovey cove, are blowing in the opposite direction. we had a storm system come through as you know, rain earlier, in addition to shifting the winds. so that ball could be carried out to left field. a very different scenario than our boys are used to, but they know how to work the field. the tarp is still on and we are expectedi expecting a renegade shower or two. from the radar we are mostly dry and will timely get a significant break from the wet weather we have been dealing with all day long. highs today mostly in the 60s. temperatures in the mid to upper 60s for places like larimer, we'll be near 64 degrees. in san jose, just 59 here in the

city. by the bay, on a regular day, you see a lot of people taking pictures, you can only imagine what it is like out here on this very day. world series excitement definitely picking up. we set the clock at the futurecast at noon, mostly clear conditions. i'll stop it at 5:00 p.m. first pitch at 5:07. looking good for san francisco. and that will continue all the way through the overnight hours. in fact, we are going to be done with this rain by tomorrow getting more of what i call deceptive sunshine when it will look like it is nice and warm outside your window but really temperatures are only going to end up in the 60s yet again. so your giants' forecast, 55 degrees at 6:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. is the best chance for seeing that very weak renegade shower, if anything, pass over the bay area. i really don't think we'll see anything at all except for a big giants' win. and let's take a look at the seven-day forecast because it is wednesday. we want to get you over the hump to help you start making the weekend plans.

outdoor plans this weekend are important because after we get through warm sunshine we've got more rain on the way just about every single day next week. so back out here live at at&t park, you can see everybody is trying to bring in all the -- everything to set up for the world series, we are seeing shrubs, big plaques, everything going in there. they are already doing an air check and the excitement you can feel just about everywhere. let's go giants. back to you, john and marla. >> hopefully the excitement is keeping you warm out there. great job, christina. even late night's jimmy fallon is getting in on the world series fever. he featured the series last night in his pros and cons segment. >> president obama went to detroit and yelled "go tigers." con, mitt romney went to detroit and yelled "go bankrupt." >> so funny. he knows how to work it. do we have to pay him a fee for coming on twice today.

>> maybe if he was in studio. coming up, not so funny, a deadly shark attack along the california coastline. still ahead, we'll let you know which popular beach may still have shark-infested waters this morning. and to join our discussion online, find us on facebook. just search nbc bay area. right now we'll take you outside to check it out. still kind of cloudy as we have a live look at the san mateo bridge. what a day for baseball, huh? the giants/tigers at at&t park. we'll keep you posted. here's a look at more giants fans' two fans watch the action with cleanly folded rally towels in their back left pockets. >> golden. that always works.

a beach accident turns tragic following a deadly shark attack. a 39-year-old surfer was killed just off surf beach near van denberg air force beach. now investigators are trying to identify the bite marks. this attack happened near the same spot where another surfer died two years ago. shark experts believe a great white was responsible and has probably not left the area. >> white sharks have attacked people in waist-deep water with the majority of attacks i curing between 10 and 30-foot water depth because that's where the seals and sea lions are and that's where we are. >> for the record, since back in 1950 a total of 13 people have died during approximately 109 shark attacks. those were all along california's coastline. >> i cannot even look at those guys. we'll be right back.

and finally, you can call it a coincidence. >> or maybe just good timing and great jeans. giants' pitcher jeremy affeldt has two sons. the first back in 2007 when he played the rockies when he went on to win the world series. the next one was in 2010 and the next month the giants won the world series. guess what? this summer they delivered their third son. >> i told mom we'll have to put her on payroll. she didn't seem to excited ant that, but it is amazing. i swear, it is crazy. every time we go to the world series, it is an amazing deal. she didn't think, i was hoping to go to the world series, but you don't know this is going to happen. i had another baby and we did it again. >> putting mom on the payroll. we don't want to overstep any boundaries but i'm sure a lot of fans would like her to keep having beautiful babies. >> easy for you guys to say. good night. thank you for being with us.
